No problem... that is a good question...
That my friend is because you have an SRC... and that is only true for
SOME ICS models... and another brand that doesnt sale anymore
The ICS M4 and MX5 has a split gearbox system ((great system for people who like to do maintenance on their AEG)) the upper has the spring, piston, head and nosel; the lower has the mechbox (motor, gears and electric switch)
On an ICS split gearbox you can for example replace the complete upper gearbox in about 9 secondes.. so instead of having two AEG (one for inside at 340FPS and one for outside at 395fps we just have two upper gearbox and switch them arround according to need ((cost is about 80$))
A complete dissasembly/reassembly for the upper gearbox takes about 10 minutes... and of course if you have a problem with the lower you can split the system and actually SEE it work to understand what is wrong
But separating the two half while under tension would potentially damage things... so the rachet knob releases the spring tension before you split the two halfs
Cheers
Ps that picture you see is a vertical view of the lower gearbox... so Cokeman got to work on the problem without even dismentalling is AEG... and that my friend is priceless!
